  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Heads up. With the rain chances increasing over the week, I am watching the forecast. Currently they are predicting 50% chance of rain in Temple on Saturday. I will keep you up to date on the weather for the X Bash.

    Man, this thing is cursed for weather. I headed up to Waco yesterday for a football game, it was dry there all day. It rained much of it at my home in San Antonio.

    TexasT Texas, where are you from

    Hello All,

    We were out at the track for some TNT and the idea of a Buick event was floated out there. This is the "new" eighth mile just south of Dallas on 45.
    https://www.xtremeracewaypark.com/

    This was my first visit there and WOW is it nice. Pits were some real nice flatwork that must have cost a fortune. Track prep was top notch according to the people I talked to.
    A couple of my(and maybe your) turbo regal buddies were laying down some high sixes with 60' in the 1.50s.

    This seemed like a pretty central location. Is it something the Houston, Austin and SanAntonio guys would consider? What about you Oklahoma and maybe even Kansas guys?

    I can start a new thread if op finds this isn't in his original content idea.

    Post up with interest and let see if it can be organized. Could be a Buick only, brand X event or whatever. Love to see something instead of nothing. Thanks for your input!

    I’m in! It’s only about an hour away for me. I’ve seen it from the highway and it looks top notch. Nice pits!
